CBS Poll: Voters Increasingly View McCain As Negative
Posted by Vaughn Ververs| Comments36

The latest CBS News/New York Times poll will be released at 6:30pm ET today but a sneak peak at it shows that an increasing number of voters see John McCain as running a negative campaign while more see Obama as explaining what he would do as president.

Sixty four percent of registered voters said McCain is spending more time attacking his opponent, up from 61 percent who said that just over a week ago and from 53 percent in late September. Just 27 percent said he is spending more time explaining what he would do, compared to 69 percent who said that about Obama. Just 22 percent said they thought Obama was spending more time attacking McCain, down from 35 percent who said so in late September.

McCain has denied that he has attacked his candidate more often but in an interview with CBS News’ Harry Smith, Obama said McCain’s tone has been much more negative. “I don't think there's any equivalence between what we've been doing and what John McCain's been doing,” Obama said. “Witness some of the comments that have been made just over the last several months, his last several weeks, 'Socialistic.' You know, 'Pals around with terrorists.' I mean, just - the kinds of stuff that - that I can't imagine saying about an opponent of mine.”

2. Would love it but doubtful.

I predict ... Barack is holding steady at a 12 point lead.
